With the development of curriculum reform, exploring thecurriculum resources has extended to a certain extent from both the breadth and depth. For the fine artscurriculum, art curriculum resources as the prerequisite and basis of the implementation of curriculum, itsconnotation and extension not only can promote backward areas of reform with respect to art education butalso can improve the quality of art education relative to the constant breakthroughs of the traditionalteaching material view. The local art resources gradually have been attached importance by many arteducators due to its unique convenience and content selection.The development target of local art curriculum resources of my thesis is “Heaven and Earth”historical buildings in my hometown, Dengfeng, Henan Provience. First of all, my thesis points out that thesignificance of "Heaven and Earth" historical and cultural architecture groups as the development of arteducation resources through the methods of literature and questionnaire. Due to its unique geographicallocation and its accumulation of history and culture, many murals, sculptures, architectural art in "Heavenand Earth" historical buildings can be developed as art treasures of art curriculum resources for primary andsecondary schools, such as the Shaolin Buddha temple’s murals, Chuzu’s exquisite stone carvings, templearchitectures of northern Tianshidao Zuting known as " the Palace in heaven", Songyue pagodas Tallinn oldpagodas, etc. Based on these numerous outstanding art resources and the implementation of national policyfoundation to further strengthen the importance of art education as well as art school curriculum standardspromulgated by the state as the premise, my thesis summarizes the principle of choosing the developmentof “Heaven and Earth” buildings as the local art curriculum resources according to the actual situation oflocal school art education in primary schools.
